R caret extractPrediction 随机森林模型 : Error: $ operator is invalid for atomic vectors

Question

我想使用带有随机森林模型的函数 caret::extractPrediction 来提取新的未见数据的预测，但我无法弄清楚为什么我的代码会抛出错误 Error: $运算符对原子向量无效。输入参数应该如何构造才能使用此功能？

这是我的可重现代码:

library(caret)

dat <- as.data.frame(ChickWeight)
# create column set
dat$set <- rep("train", nrow(dat))
# split into train and validation set
set.seed(1)
dat[sample(nrow(dat), 50), which(colnames(dat) == "set")] <- "validation"

# predictors and response
all_preds <- dat[which(dat$set == "train"), which(names(dat) %in% c("Time", "Diet"))]
response <- dat[which(dat$set == "train"), which(names(dat) == "weight")]

# set train control parameters
contr <- caret::trainControl(method="repeatedcv", number=3, repeats=5)

# recursive feature elimination caret 
set.seed(1)
model <- caret::train(x = all_preds, 
                      y = response,
                      method ="rf",
                      ntree = 250, 
                      metric = "RMSE", 
                      trControl = contr)

# validation set
vali <- dat[which(dat$set == "validation"), ]

# not working
caret::extractPrediction(models = model, testX = vali[,-c(3,5,1)], testY = vali[,1])
caret::extractPrediction(models = model, testX = vali, testY = vali)

# works without problems
caret::predict.train(model, newdata = vali)

我通过查看extractPrediction 的文档找到了解决方案。基本上，参数 models 不需要单个模型实例，而是模型列表。所以我只是插入了 list(my_rf = model) 而不仅仅是 model。

caret::extractPrediction(models = list(my_rf = model), testX = vali[,-c(3,5,1)], testY = vali[,1])
